Version history

Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.

The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.

How we verify a hash — and how you can

Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.

Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell: 

printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256

    Source update — the underlying public record changed

    Automated update from the source feed — no human edit

    The headline and the body text both changed. (compared against version 2)

    Headline at this version: Road work: maintenance listed on US-18 from Sept. 8, 2026

    • **Road work: bridge repair** is listed at US-18 from 1 mile west to 0.75 mile west of Junction South Dakota 46-Pickstown, according to the South Dakota Department of Transportation's traveller-information feed.
    • The feed gives the route as US-18, the reference milepost as 327.008 and the affected direction as Both Directions.
    • The feed publishes a listed start of June 30, 2026, 6 a.m. MDT / 7 a.m. CDT and no listed end — the feed publishes none for this record, which is how it represents work scheduled until further notice. The feed publishes those as numeric timestamps, so each is shown as a clock reading in both of South Dakota's zones — Mountain first, Central second. They are the same moment. The feed names a route and not a zone, so 605Buzz does not pick one for you.
    • Whether this work is currently underway is not stated in this text, deliberately: it depends on the time you are reading, so 605Buzz computes it from the dates above each time the page is loaded rather than storing an answer that would go out of date without anyone noticing. The status shown at the top of this page is the computed one.
    • The feed publishes coordinates of 43.068667, -98.546315 for this record. Those are the department's own figures, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not geocode.
    • > The following road construction project is in progress: bridge repair with delays 15 minutes, flaggers, lanes reduced to 1, and width limit 12 ft until further notice. Bridge repairs to the Ft Randall Dam Spillway structure have begun. Traffic will be maintained with flaggers. A 12 Ft. width restriction is in place.
    • That paragraph is the department's wording at the time this record was last read, including any dates or restrictions inside it. 605Buzz does not rewrite it, and a detail inside it can be superseded without the surrounding fields changing.
    • This record comes from the South Dakota Department of Transportation's public traveller-information feed, served through its vendor's content network. Neither host publishes a robots.txt or terms-of-use page, so no access directive exists either way; 605Buzz reproduces the department's own fields with attribution and does not claim a licence nobody granted.
    • See the [corrections ledger](/corrections) if a field is wrong.

  2. Version 2

    Clarification

    operator: removed a sentence about where the current status is shown. It described the article page, and the dek is the only prose in /feed.json — where there is no page. No fact about the road changed.

    The body text changed; the headline did not. (compared against version 1)

    Removed (1 line )

    • The feed publishes a listed start of 2026-06-30T12:00:00.000Z and no listed end — the feed publishes none for this record, which is how it represents work scheduled until further notice. Times are given in UTC as converted from the feed's own numeric timestamps.

    Initial automated publication — no human byline

    No earlier version is in this record, so there is nothing to compare against.
